676055 Adforg All was a bedlam of coherent sounds on August 30, 1948 when thirty-two of us freshmen, with knocking knees and glaring eyes started our high school career under the direction of Mrs. Florence Miller. Some of us were timid, while the rest were eagerly waiting the opportunity to be as mischievious as we hadbeen in the grammar grades. Through that first year we played a small part in school activities, but we were getting a running start into the work before us. We were proud to have Lillian Allen and Carroll Hanes as representatives from our grade at the Junior-Senior Banquet. In the tenth grade, with Mrs. Miller again as our home-room teacher, we began to realize some of the true meanings of high school and what was expected of us. To start raising money for the banquet, we presented a one act play, Elmer and the Love Bug . Kathryn Bowles and Edgar Woodwere our banquet representatives. Many of our class mates dropped out during the year, leaving just seventeen to start the eleventh grade. It was that year that Lucille Lakey from Wichita, Kansas joined our class. Mrs. Elizabeth G. Williard was our director in the eleventh grade and with her help we be- ganthe year with two main goals, which were accomplished with much success. Our first goal was to raise money for the banquet that was held at Reynolds Grill at Winston-Salem at which we carried out the Hawaiian theme with Harold Gregory, Richard Carter, and J. C. Caudle of our own F. F. A. band furnishing music and Myra Davis, Bet Montgomery, Louise Seats, and Elizabeth Seats dressed as Hawaiians doing the singing. Our other goal was presenting our class play, Mama's Baby Boy , which was well-received at both Farmington and Wm. R. Davie. The year of which we had dreamed so long nnally rolled around. We wondered about this last year with so many new teachers, for Mrs. Williard and Mr. O'Brien were the only ones re- turninggbut we soon got acquainted with and were glad to have Mr. S. G. Wallace, Principal, Mrs. Doris Conrad, Home Ec. 5 Mr. Pendry, Businessg and Mr. Venable, Coach, with us. We welcomed Sarah June Smith and Laurie Brock back into our class, as well as Don and Betty Busiek who have moved from Boston, Mass. into our community. We now had eighteen seniors. During the last year we had many problems and difficulties, but we solved them very well. We think it is fitting to recognize Edna Ann Shelton as being the one member in our class who went all twelve ofher school years at Farmington. This year was full of exciting happenings as getting our rings, visitation day in Winston - Salem, talking of our trip to Washington, learning our class play, The Red-Headed Step Child , and presenting it March 28, the class party April 8 given by our grade mothers Mrs. B. C. Brock and Mrs. I. N. Seats at the home of Mrs. Brock, planning for our Baccalaureate sermon, class exercises, The Southern Rosary, and last of all graduation! Since all good things must come to a close, with sad faces and fond memories we said good-bye to dear old Farmington High and plunged into the unknown future asking our- selves, What Next?
